Saturday, 4 October, LIUZHOU (China): Jeremy Poret is just four points away from winning a third Ski GP1  World title after a breath taking last corner win over arch rival Chris MacClugage in race 1 of the Grand Prix of China.

 

The result extends Poret’s Championship lead to 21 with just 25 available going into this afternoon’s final race of the season.

 

Poret conceded to pole sitter MacClugage from the start and trailed him for 10 laps, when a mistake by the American allowed him too close to within a couple of seconds, then snatching the win on the final corner of the last lap with MacClugage taking the penalty buoy.

 

Third place went to Spaniard Nacho Armillas.

 

In the race for the Ladies title Jennifer Menard’s fifth win of the season moves her to within a point of the World Championship after beating rival Estelle Poret, with Sandra Rodriguez Fernandez third.
